The Instagram app has added the option for you to share photos and videos through direct messages on your Windows 10 PC. It's a pretty basic feature, but one that has been missing until recently.

The feature lets you easily attach photos from your hard drive to a direct message by selecting the image icon within. You can also snap a new picture using your webcam if you need to either from the DM interface or by selecting the camera icon on your feed. Curiously, the PC app still doesn't let you actually snap a picture with your webcam and post it directly to your feed, likely due to the app's mobile-centric nature.

The option is available in version 10.811.28417.0, which rolled out earlier in March, so it's unclear when the option actually arrived. However, if you find yourself frequently using Instagram for messaging on your PC, this is a pretty solid addition.
